Re: Display BASED() variables in debug?

Is it possible that the DS is based on a pointer that was passed to your

Though, I can't recall whether it was the RDP debugger that was
confused, or whether it was one of the other ones.


That problem affects both the system debugger and the RDP debugger since they use the same underlying support for evaluating variables.

What I usually do for debugging is change the based variable to be based on a local pointer, and copy the parameter to the local pointer.

But if you don't want to do that, then within the system debugger you can use

EVAL pointerparm->basedfield

In the RDP debugger, you can do that in the Monitor window. (Right click in the Monitors window, select Monitor Expression, and enter pointerparm->basedfield.)
